Honovi and Isabel Have a Party!... and so does my hair!!

As some of you know, I decided to name my cosmetic company, Chinovi Cosmetics, after 2 of my 7 nieces... Chilali and Honovi (they are Native American names). One of the collections I want to launch will be based on my family. Each of my nieces, sister, and my mommy get to create a color. So far 5 nieces and 1 sister have created their color. I felt like honoring them, if you will, by wearing some of their colors yesterday. Here's what I came up with!

Whole look, new hair color and all!

What I used:
FACE:
Revlon Colorstay Foundation in Buff Chamois
Stream Airbrush System Foundation in 05M
Chinovi Blush in Thankful
Chinovi Bronzer (unnamed)
BE Mineral Veil (I've yet to create a veil that is as good!)

I LOVE working at the salon! Whenever I feel like changing my hair or whatever, I have co-workers that can take care of it for me. My wonderful boos, April, told me to come in for a day of pampering. Most people don't like going to work on a day off, but I love to! I had told her quite a few months ago, when I was employed elsewhere, that I want to one day put fuchsia in my hair!... yup... I'm crazy sometimes! Just over a month ago, we put orange in for a halloween/fall event we had. When that faded out we slapped on some RED pigment... straight out of the tube. (I would go to a professional before doing such a thing, though... you never know what crazy colors your hair might pull!) That stuff stayed!... I washed it probably 15 times, and it just barely, BARELY faded at the ends. So when I went in for my day of pampering, April surprised me. I thought we were just putting more red on... but WHAT?... when my hair dried... it was a bit pink... and I LOVE it!

About Me

Hi. My name is Vanessa and I'm a makeup-a-holic. I love playing with eye makeup and trying different things. I've started accumulating a lot of new pigments so you are in for a colorful ride! I also love reading. I work for a publishing company so you can always count on me having a good book in my hands.
